Pros and Cons

Pros1

It’s important to install the soft close on whichever hinge is least likely to be bumped. If you’re lucky enough to have blum hinges and you get the right size of soft-close attachments, installation is literally just a snap.

Cons1

Once installed they look bulky and yes they do dampen but there's no way to adjust. If they are bumped they will fall off and you will find yourself often having to refasten them.

Pros2

No more slamming door closures. I recommend drilling a 3/32 pilot hole using the dampen product as your guide for proper angle.

This is so much more cost affective and works just as well imo. It's inexpensive, with that price, the casing is plastic, so far so good.

Cons2

The body is plastic, and they are not easy to install securely. Combo of inflation and shrinkflation = dissatisfaction.

Too stiff to soft close kitchen cabinet doors. Leaves doors open and is very inconvenient. The design it totally flawed. The only way to get them to close with these is to forcibly close the door by hand.
